From our wire services
LONDON Nothing could have seemed less likely
on a sunny, crisp afternoon six days into the siege of
the Iranian Embassy in London. All signs indicated
that police were winning. Five hostages had been
freed and the gunmen's demands seemed to be mod-erating.
Then came the three shots from within the embassy
which prompted the rescue attack. Crack British
army commandos stormed the embassy, and 10 min-utes
later, the six- da- y siege was over.
Three of the Iranian- Ara- b gunmen, who earlier shot
to death two hostages and threatened to execute an-other
every 30 minutes, were killed. The two remain-ing
gunmen were taken into custody while 19 hostages
were rescued.
The surviving hostages were treated and examined
Monday night in a nearby hospital. Most were
thought to be Iranians, diplomats and embassy staff,
but three Britons were among them. They are Ronald
Morris, an embassy clerk; Police Constable Trevor
Lock; and Simeon Harris, a sound technician for the
British Broadcasting Corp.
Police knew the crisis had become dangerous by
midafternoon Monday when shots were heard from
inside the embassy. Scotland Yard Chief Sir David
ldKVT rl it - MiMHP cJWHJfiKwiBKSbll
McNee said " a decision had to be taken" when the
gunmen threatened to kill another hostage every 30
minutes.
Two police marksmen moved in a crouch toward
the embassy porch, their guns covering the doorway.
In front of them two plainclothes police, carrying a
stretcher, moved nervously and quickly toward the
porch and up a few steps.
The door opened. A body was shoved out.
Police marksmen knelt on the sidewalk, rifles
trained on the door. Hastily, clumsily, the stretcher
bearers bundled the body onto the canvas, face down,
picked it up and bent almost double carried it back.
Later, a black- hoode- d commando slid down a rope
from the embassy roof in a posh London neighbor-hood
and tossed a grenade into a rear window to be-gin
the assault
Seconds later, two other commandos planted anoth-er
device on a front second floor porch and scurried
for cover. Another explosion followed.
Under the camouflage of the smoke and flames,
commandos stormed the building, machine gun fire
rattling.
Other commandos of the crack army Special Air
Services regiment, hooded and in black, hopped over
balustrades from balcony to balcony on the front of
the building. Two passed an embassy window. Anoth--

A few seconds passed, then a long volley of gunfire.
A pause, another long, but sporadic bout of gunfire,
then a much smaller explosion occurred.
Wind was whipping the increasingly thick smoke al-most
straight up the outside of the building and sharp-ly
south over the roof. The fire flickered for a short
while, then slackened. More shots were heard in three
or four prolonged stretches.
After a minute or so, dazed Middle Eastern men
and women dashed from the front door. Stretcher
parties suddenly scurried about.
As ambulances screamed away with the 19 freed
hostages, a small crowd in Hyde Park, across from
the embassy, chanted, " God bless America." The
pro- Americ- an group repeated its chant near a crowd
of people supporting Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's

The Food and Drag Administration
has been investigating the use of anti-biotics

The investigation centers on whether
people can become resistant to anti-biotics,
such as penicillin, if they eat

J gation. He studied whether organisms
resistant to antibiotics could be trans-ferred
from animals to people through

The FDA would like to limit the use
of antibiotics in animal feed but Con-gress

says Emmett McCune, pro-fessor
of veterinary medicine and mi-crobiology.
The FDA has been funding
several research projects to come up

" The FDA has tried restrictions but
the antibiotic industry is a multimillion

Violence at Iran's embassy
heightens conflict with Iraq
By Yoossef M. Ibrahim
New York Times
LONDON The six -- day siege that ended Monday
night in explosions and fires at the Iranian Embassy
here is believed by some Arab diplomats to have had
its origins in a growing confrontation between Iran
and its Arab neighbor, Iraq.
These diplomats say they believe the embassy take-over
was planned in coordination with Iraqi intelli-gence
services, with the actual attack made by disaf-fected
members of the Arab ethnic minority of Iran.
Similar charges of Iraqi involvement have been made
by Iranian leaders in Tehran.
There are nearly a million and a half people of Arab
descent among Iran's population of 35 million, most
of them living in the southwestern province of Khuzis- ta- n,
where all of the country's oil is known to be. Dis-affection
has been spreading, it is estimated, to tens
of thousands, and the number is said to be constantly
growing.
" ' The" issaes include a desire by the ethnic Arab mi--
Analysis
nority for greater autonomy and for a larger share of
Iranian oil wealth to be allocated to Khuzistan. one of
Iran's poorest provinces. These long- standi- ng griev-ances,
the diplomatic sources say, have been fanned
among the ethnic Arabs by Iraq.
The Iraqis are depicted as having come to see the
militant Islamic regime of Ayatollah Ruhollah Kho-meini
as a threat to their own system of secular- oriente- d
Arab socialism. For Iraq, Khomeini's fre-quent
appeal to the Shiite Moslems of Iraq to rise in
revolt against the Baath Party government is an out-right
call for war.
In the background are centuries of antipathy be-tween
Persians and Arabs dating to the Moslem Arab
conquest of the Persian homeland. This is com-pounded
by religious rivalry between the Shiite brand

Council OKs Marshel Gordon site for mall
By Shawn Balthrop, Juli Cragg
and Steve Glynn
Missoarian staff writers
The Great Regional Shopping Mall Sweepstakes
is over.
The long- runnin- g race among several devel-opers
produced a winner Monday night at the Co-lumbia
City Council meeting as General Growth
Corp. ran away with the prize.
By a 6-- 1 vote, the council approved ' a zoning
change that would open the 71.5- acr- e ( 28.6- hec- tar- e)
Marshel Gordon site for planned commer-cial
use. Second Ward Councilman Holme Hick-man
was the sole dissenter.
In other action, the council directed city offi-cials
to ask the federal government to remove
from consideration for nomination to the National
Historic Register a 300- acr- e ( 120- bectar- e) district
in Columbia. The extreme size of the district was
the main problem.
General Growth's representatives presented a
massive display of statistics and figures, the re-sult
of six years of searching in the Columbia area
for a mall site. The first stage of development will
encompass 441,000 square feet ( 39,690 square me-ters),
with the second adding 159,000 square feet
( 14,310 square meters ).
According to company statistics, the city is los-ing
27 percent of its potential trade to other mar-kets.
General Growth's experts claim the new
mall will reduce this to 15 percent and pull in an
estimated $ 420,000 in sales tax receipts annually
during the first stage of development, along with
an additional $ 230,000 when the second phase is
completed.
The mall also will generate an additional $ 350,- 00- 0
annually in property tax revenues during the
first phase, and about $ 500,000 when the final
stage is completed, company representatives
said.
Marty Altman, an independent traffic engineer
hired by General Growth, outlined several plans
to ensure safe and unimpeded traffic flow near
the site on Stadium Boulevard south of 1-- 70.
These plans include ring roads around the pe-rimeter
of the complex with access areas that ex-ceed
city safety standards. The plan also provides,
for the extension of Bemadette Drive and West
Worley Street, along with new or different traffic- signa- l
lights at both streets and other intersec-tions.
Once those improvements are added, Altman
said, ' We can move traffic in and out of the cen-ter
without impeding the progress of the traffic on
the street."
Columbia attorney Bob Roper, representing the
company, pointed out that the site was listed as
the best location for a regional mall in a March 5
city planning report.
That report said that site was the best because
it would accommodate development within exist-ing
constraints and would not capture an unusual-ly
high share of market growth, having a reduced
impact on the downtown area.
" It does not lend itself to spin off development
and peripheral growth," Roper said. While he ad-mitted
that it was not the " phantom perfect site,"
he noted, " I think we're way ahead of whoever's
in second place."
Audience comment was overwhelmingly in fa-vor
of the project, with only one spectator voicing
an opinion against the project.

Ozark talks go beyond deadline
From staff and wire reports
Negotiations were still deadlocked
" between Ozark Airlines and the Air-craft
Mechanics Fraternal Organiza-tion
at 1 a. m. today. The union had sdid
it would strike at midnight Monday if

Ozark came in with a last nunule
plan at 11: 45 pan. in an attempt to
break the stalemate. However, an hour
past the union's deadline no agreed . ent
had been announced and there was uo
indication if the strike would be post-poned.
The mechanics union, which rep-resents
more than 700 mechanics, au-thorized
a strike for midnight Monday
when a gavernment- mandate- d 30- d- ay
" cooun ff" period expired. The me
chanics had been working without a
contract since last May.
The airline was ' shut down fur six
weeks last year when its flight atten-dants
went on strike.
The union was seeking a 35 percent
wage increase over the next three
years, plus 25 cents per hour more for
cost of living increases and larger
medical and pension benefits.
Edward Crane, president of Ozark,
. said last week Ue costs incurred by the
union's demands could put the airline
out of business. Ozark's latest offer
called for a 30 percent wage increase " plus cost of living increases.
Crane personally entered negotia-tions
with the mechanics at about 9
p. m. Monday In an effort to prevent the
threatened strike. Crane joined vwtth a
inemtxT of Uzarks board of directors
and the airline's attorney in putting U- get- lier
a new wage and fringe benefit
package U be offered to the union.
According to union spokesman John
Miller. Crane's participation in the
talks was a significant move by the air-line.
" At least this shows an effort to net
tue ttdng going, Miller said. " This is
the first news of encouragement we've
seen all week."
Miller had said earlier the union
mUttd delay the strike if there was
" significant movement" in the new of-fer

Mechanics Fraternal Organiza-tion
at 1 a. m. today. The union had sdid
it would strike at midnight Monday if
- itnhethree awiralsinneo's " osfifgern. ificant movement"
Ozark came in with a last nunule
plan at 11: 45 pan. in an attempt to
break the stalemate. However, an hour
past the union's deadline no agreed . ent
had been announced and there was uo
indication if the strike would be post-poned.
The mechanics union, which rep-resents
more than 700 mechanics, au-thorized
a strike for midnight Monday
when a gavernment- mandate- d 30- d- ay
" cooun ff" period expired. The me
chanics had been working without a
contract since last May.
The airline was ' shut down fur six
weeks last year when its flight atten-dants
went on strike.
The union was seeking a 35 percent
wage increase over the next three
years, plus 25 cents per hour more for
cost of living increases and larger
medical and pension benefits.
Edward Crane, president of Ozark,
. said last week Ue costs incurred by the
union's demands could put the airline
out of business. Ozark's latest offer
called for a 30 percent wage increase " plus cost of living increases.
Crane personally entered negotia-tions
with the mechanics at about 9
p. m. Monday In an effort to prevent the
threatened strike. Crane joined vwtth a
inemtxT of Uzarks board of directors
and the airline's attorney in putting U- get- lier
a new wage and fringe benefit
package U be offered to the union.
According to union spokesman John
Miller. Crane's participation in the
talks was a significant move by the air-line.
" At least this shows an effort to net
tue ttdng going, Miller said. " This is
the first news of encouragement we've
seen all week."
Miller had said earlier the union
mUttd delay the strike if there was
" significant movement" in the new of-fer

Billy Martin has taught ' em to win irvOakland and in the
last few years, that's been a rare feat. Going into last night's
game, the A's had the best record in the American League
and had beaten last year's Western Division champions, the
California Angels, six times in seven games. How's Billy
doing it? With steals of home, home runs and miraculous
outfield catches or, in other words, in vintage Martin style.
